Department of Physics

Welcome to the Department of Physics at VVCE, Mysuru. The Department of Physics was established in the year 1997. The Department of Physics not only offers the students to explore fundamental physics but also promote interdisciplinary research work. The Department is working hard towards providing innovative and quality education through its dedicated and experienced teaching faculty members. The research work of the Department is contributing strongly across disciplines that include Material Science, Semi-Conductor devices, Reliability Studies, Cryogenic Properties, Nanomaterials, Crystallography, Polymers etc.

The department has very good infrastructure consisting of two spacious laboratories, HOD’s chambers, staff rooms, departmental library and store room.

The Department of Physics has very good infrastructure with spacious laboratory, library and research center recognized by VTU (approved in the year 2016). Since then the research center has grown to provide various sample preparation and data characterization facility to the faculty members, research scholars and the students.

Our R & D center has LCR meter facility with accuracy and versatility which makes this precision instruments the ideal choice for many different tasks and applications including passive component design, dielectric material testing and resonant frequency characterization. The Precision Impedance Analyzer is therefore ideal for many demanding tasks. It provides

Precise high frequency impedance measurements

    1. Clear graphic displays
    2. Impedance (Z)
    3. Phase angle (θ)
    4. Capacitance (C)
    5. Dissipation factor (D)
    6. Inductance (L) Quality factor (Q)
    7. Resistance (R)
    8. Conductance (G)
    9. Admittance (Y)

LCR Meter

Engineers need to evaluate component characteristics at high frequencies with very high levels of accuracy. Hence the Department of Physics extends this facility to our college students and faculty members at free of cost and reasonable rates for outsiders.
